gloves and eye protection.

blade sharpener.
2. Grind blade at original bevel.
3. Check balance of blade by positioning the blade on a
nail or blade balance pedestal.

sides balance.
Installing Blades
When installing blades be sure
they are installed with the cut-
ting edge down and the uplift facing up.

the concave side will be against the blade.

from the blades cutting side (Grass Side).
3. Place the upper side of the blade to the Blade Washer
(Smooth Side).
4. Put the Blade Bolt in the hole of the Blade Washer and
push through.
5. Install the assembly in the spindle housing and tighten
the Blade Bolt to 75 ft lbs torque.

ing Mower Deck (See -

Place the Deck Height Adjusting Pin in the 3” adjust-
ing hole and release the pedal.
